Thanks to a tweet by @ExpressLisaG, I learned that Whitney Port is a fan of the Express (Minus The) Leather Limited Edition Jacket ($148), as seen in Nylon mag. This motorcycle style jacket features a bright pink lining, and for every jacket purchased, Express will make a donation to Bright Pink, an organization which supports young women at risk for cancer. Unfortunately it's currently on backorder, but you might be able to find it in stores. Click the image below for more details!

Nylon mag has a first look at Petro Zillia for Forever 21, the fast fashion retailer's latest designer collaboration with L.A. label House of Petro Zillia. "Bold colors, vivid detail, retro trends with modern twists. This is PETRO ZILLIA," reads the brand's bio. Petro Zillia was launched in 1996 by designer Nony Tochterman, who spent her formative years in Tel Aviv, Israel, and now resides in sunny L.A., where she was awarded the Moss Adams Fashion Innovator Award (MAFI). Celebrity fans of Petro Zillia include Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, Scarlett Johansson, Mischa Barton, and Madonna to name a few. Most of the pieces look like cute, colorful loungewear to me (although I'm not sure that was their intention).

Update: Petro Zillia for Forever 21 will be available February 11th, 2011.
